Doggy

I have a miniature smooth Daschshund (some people call it Teckel). For those who are a first time Daschund owner, here is my advice to you: brush the dog's teeth every day! Apart from the well-known back problem, I found out that the breed is also prone to teeth problem. I learned the hard way. The dog has to see his personal dentist (yes, one exists for pet) every year because of that. (He almost got the root canal planning!) Here is the links for those interested in the breed.

Photography

My hobby is landscape photography. I did a lot of that when I was a graduate student at UCLA because it was so convenient to go to national parks in California, Utah and Arizona. Also, the cost of developing was cheap. A&I, one of the best slide labs in the U.S. happens to locate in LA and provides discounts for students. I could just get my slides developed in half a day. (My main film was Fuji Velvia.) If you are interested in photography, check out these links.
